If any of you are able to get the new AM compiled and or running on alinux ubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu, or mint 64-bit let me know!
I just finished a successful compile on Xubuntu 14.04.3 x64. I ran into a couple of issues. The first was a lack of the libfreetype6-dev (ft2build.h not found) when running make -j 3 command. The second was a missing libjpeg8-dev (jpeglib.h not found) when running the sudo make install command. I've ran attract from the command line and it comes up and I can navigate it. I've not tested if it will launch or anything other than it will start up, but it shows promise. I didn't get any other errors (that I can see) after installing the libfreetype6-dev and libjpeg8-dev packages.
If the 32 bit deb packages are up I can test it on my arcade box as I have the i386 libraries installed and ready. The Kega Fusion mentioned that it was only 32 bit and needed the i386 libraries to run on a x64 linux os.
Hope that helps out some, thanks for all the help thus far!
